by Raffaele Petrosemolo

Mi dicon tutti quanti montagnola
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Mi dicon tutti quanti montagnola
  Come della montagna io fossi sola,
  Io fossi sola della montagna;

Ma di ciarle non ho cura,
  Sol che m'ami il mio tesor,
  Sol ch'io possa esser sicura
  Dello scettro del suo cor.

Ah!... Col guardo amor consiglia,
  Ma poi non sente amor
  Ah!... Un angelo somiglia,
  Ma tien di gelo il cor.

Io son contenta d'esser di montagna
  Infin che l'amor mio non se ne lagna,
  Non se ne lagna, io son contenta;

Vo' piacere al mio diletto,
  I suoi voti vo' compir,
  Tutto il resto m'è a dispetto,
  Mi dà legge il suo desir:

Ah!... Col guardo amor consiglia,
  Ma poi non sente amor
  Ah!... Un angelo somiglia,
  Ma tien di gelo il cor.
